OhMyPosh themes with arrows render gaps before arrow character

Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)
Windows 10 18362.30 (Enterprise)
oh-my-posh 2.0.263 - agnoster theme
posh-git 0.7.3
Screenshots taken using Nerd Fonts Inconsolata NF, also tried using FuraCode NF with same results.
I am using a build from master as of ~11am PDT today.
What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy & paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)
Windows Terminal

Fluent Terminal (expected result)
What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
Arrow characters on powerline should be getting rendered a few pixels to the left, so colour gaps aren't visible (see Fluent Terminal screenshot). Screenshots taken using agnoster theme, but the same happens on other themes utilising those arrows - Paradox and Fish. No issues noticed on themes that don't render this arrow character.

Edit: removed ohmyposh disabled screenshot, as that doesn't relate to this issue but to the other one I just opened.

Seems like a thing Michael Niksa (@miniksa) might know about

I don't strictly know why this is, but it's probably a renderer thing so I'll self-assign for now.

Hi,
I got the same issue here using patched nerd font UbuntuMono NF from here
using agnoster theme in zsh

Also tried with different patched nerd fonts like SpaceMono NF, RobotoMono NF and DejaVuSansMono NF, all with the same issue

I'm using the latest master as of right now, with HEAD at 900d0c3

As you can see first lettter of the command (like c from cd and l from ls) is not rendered
(or rather I guess it's blocked by the charater to the left that looks like this one: ▶)

settings of the ubuntu terminal as below:

{
            "acrylicOpacity" : 0.5,
            "closeOnExit" : true,
            "colorScheme" : "Campbell",
            "commandline" : "wsl.exe -d Ubuntu",
            "cursorColor" : "#FFFFFF",
            "cursorShape" : "bar",
            "fontFace" : "UbuntuMono NF",
            "fontSize" : 10,
            "guid" : "{2c4de342-38b7-51cf-b940-2309a097f518}",
            "historySize" : 9001,
            "icon" : "ms-appx:///ProfileIcons/{9acb9455-ca41-5af7-950f-6bca1bc9722f}.png",
            "name" : "Ubuntu",
            "padding" : "0, 0, 0, 0",
            "startingDirectory" : "%USERPROFILE%",
            "snapOnInput" : true,
            "useAcrylic" : false
        }

Update:
It's seems the character is rendered just fine with the original font (the one that's not nerd font patched)

{
            "acrylicOpacity" : 0.5,
            "closeOnExit" : true,
            "colorScheme" : "Campbell",
            "commandline" : "wsl.exe -d Ubuntu",
            "cursorColor" : "#FFFFFF",
            "cursorShape" : "bar",
            "fontFace" : "Roboto Mono for Powerline",
            "fontSize" : 10,
            "guid" : "{2c4de342-38b7-51cf-b940-2309a097f518}",
            "historySize" : 9001,
            "icon" : "ms-appx:///ProfileIcons/{9acb9455-ca41-5af7-950f-6bca1bc9722f}.png",
            "name" : "Ubuntu",
            "padding" : "0, 0, 0, 0",
            "snapOnInput" : true,
            "useAcrylic" : false
        }

Same issue using zsh/oh-my-zsh with powerlevel9k theme

I'm using "Sauce Code Powerline" font (patched from nerd-fonts).
Also tried with others fonts from Powerline patched fonts

        {
            "acrylicOpacity" : 0.89999997615814209,
            "closeOnExit" : true,
            "colorScheme" : "Campbell",
            "commandline" : "wsl.exe -d Ubuntu-18.04",
            "cursorColor" : "#FFFFFF",
            "cursorShape" : "filledBox",
            "fontFace" : "SauceCodePro Nerd Font",
            "fontSize" : 12,
            "guid" : "{c6eaf9f4-32a7-5fdc-b5cf-066e8a4b1e40}",
            "historySize" : 9001,
            "icon" : "ms-appx:///ProfileIcons/{9acb9455-ca41-5af7-950f-6bca1bc9722f}.png",
            "name" : "Ubuntu-18.04",
            "padding" : "0, 0, 0, 0",
            "snapOnInput" : true,
            "useAcrylic" : true
        }

I was able to solve this issue by installing the 'Windows Compatible' version of the nerd font, for example Droid Sans Mono Nerd Font Complete Windows Compatible.otf, and then set the fontFace to DroidSansMono NF.

Me and my colleagues had a bunch of issues with this but it worked for one of us. We're using my LovelyPowershell modules which installs the latest Hack NF fonts from the nerd-fonts master.

Turns out those of us that had issues had older versions of the font. The latest on nerd-fonts master makes this issue go away. We're using the Complete Mono Windows Compatible versions.

🎉🎉🎉

Edit: If you try the fonts from the master branch then make sure that the old ones are actually uninstalled.

Isn't this fixed by the latest release? The arrows seem to work fine for me now

I am also seeing this as fixed in yesterday's Github release.

I was able to get the powerline fonts and symbols working by using the settings from #633 (comment) above. However, the colors do not match what I expect them to. I also have the wsltty installed which outputs the correct colors. Has anyone been able to get windows terminal to output the right colors? Or know which setting I should change?

use colortool :

Eduardo Soto (@es50678) you can change the color scheme used by the terminal in your settings, check here for details

Dustin L. Howett (MSFT) (@DHowett-MSFT)

Confirmed with Dustin L. Howett (MSFT) (@DHowett-MSFT) that this should be resolved in the upcoming release thanks to #2066. Resolving.

I have the same problem, it was working fine yesterday and I changed nothing. Opening the terminal for the first time looks like that, and after that, it just works normally. Does anyone know a solution? I tried all suggested fixes above and yet none worked

Edit: Found out it is a windows terminal problem, a temporary workaround worked: JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh#172 (comment)

Still persists on the latest version of terminal.
Windows Terminal
Version: 1.11.3471.0
Windows 11 Version 21H2 Build 22000.527

Workaround is to add

clear

at the end in .bashrc if you are using bash.
